About This Home

1089 Molitar Rd

"The Ocotillo Bunker House," and to the locals, "The Preston Ranch" is on the market for the first time ever! Tucked into the natural hillside of Ocotillo's desert landscape, this custom-built bunker-style home offers a rare blend of architectural creativity, privacy, and adventure. Built in 2000 and thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, the home benefits from the natural insulation of hillside construction, helping keep the interior cooler even during Ocotillo's triple-digit summer temperatures. Situated on approximately 39 acres, the property offers space, privacy, and endless possibilities. Inside, the home features 1,960 square feet of living space, designed with gathering and comfort in mind. While the concept of an underground home may suggest a dark interior, the opposite is true here. A central atrium brings abundant natural light into the heart of the home, complemented by multiple skylights that brighten the living areas throughout the day. The home offers two full bathrooms, an indoor laundry, and a spacious open kitchen with generous storage, flowing seamlessly into the main living room, where family and friends can gather comfortably. On cooler desert evenings, a large pellet stove fireplace creates a warm, inviting atmosphere. The property is equipped with its own private well and septic system, supporting independent desert living. One of the most remarkable features of the property is the large private hangar, offering space for a personal plane, helicopter, trophy truck, RVs, or recreational equipment. The property once featured its own private airstrip, making it a rare opportunity for aviation enthusiasts or desert racing fans seeking a private basecamp. Whether you're looking for a unique desert residence, aviation retreat, recreational compound, or off-road headquarters, this exceptional property offers the kind of freedom and space rarely found today. Pull your trophy truck out of the hangar and head straight into the desert to test for the next Baja race. A true diamond in the rough, ready for the next owner to bring their vision to life.
